Hi,
Just built a new system with these specs:
P4 3.0 Prescott
Intel D915PBL Motherboard
1024 gig Mushkin DDR2 PC-4200 533mhz RAM
XFX Geforce 6600GT Video
Super Lanboy case
Thermaltake Silent775 HSF with Arctic Silver 5 applied
I'm not really sure why Thermaltake decided to call this HS Silent. It's not. It's much louder than my old P4 2.2 w/stock heatsink and fan system.
And I don't think the cooling is that great:
CPU Idle: 44 - 46
CPU Load: 56 - 57 (tested with Sandra 2005)
Case temp: 36 -38
Ambient Room Temps: 24 - 26
I was thinking of a new case for this system. Possibly the Thermaltake Shark case:

But this has a more open design, and would probably be even louder.
I was wondering if I could use a quieter fan for the Silent775 heatsink and still get the cooling from it.
